Impact of Offset and Leg Length on Functional Outcomes Post-Total Hip Arthroplasty: How Accurate Should Coronal Reconstruction Be? J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S332-S339.e2. [PMID: 38897260 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate hip reconstruction is associated with improved biomechanical behavior following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, whether this is associated with improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is unknown. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE This study aimed to: 1) describe the ability to reconstruct coronal geometry during THA without advanced technology; 2) assess whether restoration of global offset (GO) and leg length (LL) is associated with improved PROs; and 3) investigate whether increased femoral offset (FO) to compensate for reduced acetabular offset (AO) influences PROs. METHOD This was a prospective, multicenter, consecutive cohort study of 500 patients treated with primary THA without robotics or navigation. The Oxford Hip score (OHS) was obtained preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up. Supine anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were analyzed to determine AO, FO, GO, and LL relative to the native contralateral side. Contour plots for ΔOHS based on ΔLL and ΔGO were created, and ΔOHS was calculated within and outside various ranges (±2.5, ±5, or ±10 mm). RESULTS In the operated hip, mean FO increased by 3 ± 6 mm (range, -16 to 27), while AO decreased by 2 ± 4 mm (range, -17 to 10). The contour graph for ±2.5 mm zones showed the best outcomes (ΔOHS >25) with GO and LL centered on 0 ± 2.5 mm (P < .01). However, only 10% achieved such reconstruction. When GO and LL differences were within ±10 mm, ΔOHS was superior when both AO and FO were within ±5 mm (mean: 24 ± 10; range, -5 to 40) compared with when FO was above 5 mm to compensate for a reduction in AO (mean: 22 ± 11; range, -10 to 46; P = .040). CONCLUSIONS The PROs were associated with biomechanical reconstruction, and the best clinical improvement can be expected when GO and LL differences are both within 2.5 mm. Maintenance of AO is important, as compensation by increasing FO is associated with inferior OHS.

Abstract
Background Accurate cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with dysplasia is challenging due to the distinctive bone deformities. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of cup placement position and orientation across robotic arm-assisted systems (R-THA), computed tomography-based navigation (N-THA), and manual procedure (M-THA) in THA for osteoarthritis secondary to dysplasia. Methods A total of 167 patients (197 hips), including 88 R-THAs, 45 N-THAs, and 46 M-THAs, were analyzed. Propensity score matching was performed to align the patient backgrounds. Horizontal and vertical centers of rotation were measured for cup position, whereas radiographic inclination and anteversion were measured for cup orientation. The proportion of cases with cup placement within 3 mm and 5° from the target was compared. Results R-THA had a significantly higher percentage of cup placement within 3 mm of the target compared to N-THA (78% vs 49%; P = .0041) and M-THA (78% vs 53%; P = .013). Similarly, R-THA was significantly more successful in placing the cup within 5° of the target compared to N-THA (84% vs 58%; P = .0049) and M-THA (91% vs 20%; P < .0001). Moreover, N-THA was significantly better at placing the cup within 5° of the target compared to M-THA (62% vs 14%; P < .0001), whereas there was no significant difference in the percentage of cup placement within 3 mm of the target (51% vs 51%; P = 1.0). Conclusions Robotic arm-assisted system and computed tomography-based navigation improved accuracy in cup orientation compared to the manual procedure. Additionally, the robotic arm-assisted system further improved cup position accuracy.

J Orthop 2024; 53:125-132. [PMID: 38515529 PMCID: PMC10950562 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2024.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Robotic-assisted (RA) and computer-navigated (CN) total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been demonstrated to improve component placement accuracy compared to manual THA (mTHA) for primary osteoarthritis. As hip dysplasia presents several additional challenges in component placement accuracy and leg length discrepancy (LLD) correction during THA, a systematic review was conducted to evaluate whether utilizing these platforms may be associated with superior outcomes over mTHA in patients who have hip dysplasia. Methods PubMed, Medline, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar were searched on September 13, 2023 to identify comparative studies published after January 1, 2000 that evaluated outcomes of RA-THA or CN-THA in patients who have hip dysplasia. The query yielded 197 unique articles, which were screened for alignment with the study aims. After screening, 10 studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria, comprising 946 patients. Risk of bias was evaluated via the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies tool, and the mean score was 21.2 ± 1.5. Results Both RA-THA and CN-THA were not associated with improved acetabular anteversion and inclination when evaluating Crowe I-IV types altogether compared to mTHA, but studies reported improved accuracy for each Crowe I and II cases when assessed individually. While studies reporting acetabular cup placement within the Lewinnek and Callanan safe zones consistently found higher odds of accurate positioning for RA-THA versus mTHA, accuracy in achieving targeted center of rotation was mixed. Also, studies reported no difference in LLD restoration for RA-THA and CN-THA compared to mTHA. While operative time may be increased when utilizing these platforms, they may also expedite specific sequences, offsetting most of the increase in operative time. Conclusion This review highlights the advantages of RA-THA and CN-THA for patients who have DDH, particularly when treating Crowe I and II types as superior radiographic outcomes were achieved with these intraoperative technologies. However, there remains a need for studies to investigate whether this results in patient-reported outcome measures.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis, and the popularity of the direct anterior approach has increased due to more rapid recovery and increased stability. Instability, commonly caused by component malposition, remains a significant concern. The dynamic relationship between the pelvis and lumbar spine, deemed spinopelvic motion, is considered an important factor in stability. Various parameters are used in evaluating spinopelvic motion. Understanding spinopelvic motion is critical, and executing a precise plan for positioning the implant can be difficult with manual instrumentation. Robotic and/or navigation systems have been developed in the effort to enhance THA outcomes and for implementing spinopelvic parameters. These systems can be classified into three categories: X-ray/fluoroscopy-based, imageless, and computed tomography (CT)-based. Each system has advantages and limitations. When using CT-based systems, preoperative CT scans are used to assist with preoperative planning and intraoperative execution, providing feedback on implant position and restoration of hip biomechanics within a functional safe zone developed according to each patient's specific spinopelvic parameters. Several studies have demonstrated the accuracy and reproducibility of robotic systems with regard to implant positioning and leg length discrepancy. Some studies have reported better radiographic and clinical outcomes with use of robotic-assisted THA. However, clinical outcomes comparable to those for manual THA have also been reported. Robotic systems offer advantages in terms of accuracy, precision, and potentially reduced rates of dislocation. Additional research, including conduct of randomized controlled trials, will be required in order to evaluate the long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted THA.

Abstract
PURPOSES Due to the morphological diversity of deformities, technical difficulties, improperly designed components, and so on, THA remains a challenging task in dysplastic hips, especially in highly dislocated hips. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted THA in patients with DDH through a large cohort study, including the precision of acetabular cup positioning, indicators of inflammatory response, indicators of muscle damage, and complications. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with DDH who underwent THA in our prospectively constructed joint registry between August 2018 and August 2022. Finally, 147 manual THAs and 147 robotic-assisted THAs were included in the final analysis. Patient demographics, indicators of inflammation, indicators of muscle damage, operative time, Harris hip scores (HHS), and forgotten joint score (FJS) were recorded for analysis. The precision of the positioning of the acetabular component was assessed with plain radiographs. RESULTS In the Crowe II/III groups, the reconstructed center of rotation (COR) in the robotic-assisted group was closer to the anatomical COR with less variation than the manual group (absolute horizontal distances of COR 3.5 ± 2.8 vs. 5.4 ± 4.9 mm, p < 0.05; absolute vertical distances of COR 6.4 ± 4.1 vs. 11.7 ± 8.2 mm, p = 0.001). For all Crowe subtypes, the robotic-assisted THA significantly increased the proportion of acetabular cups located in the safety zone within 5° (all p < 0.05). Interleukin-6 and creatine kinase levels were slightly lower and significantly different in the robotic-assisted group at three days postoperatively (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared to the manual technique, the robot-assisted technique improved the precision and reproducibility of acetabular component positioning, particularly in DDH patients with Crowe types II/III. The robotic-assisted technique did not increase operative time, bleeding, complications, or revision rates, and had a slighter early inflammatory response and muscle damage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Correct cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is considerably difficult. This study aimed to analyze the orientation accuracy of cup insertion during THA using a portable navigation system in patients with DDH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from 64 patients who underwent THA using infrared stereo camera-matching portable navigation. Patients underwent THA via the anterolateral approach in the lateral decubitus position. Navigation records for intraoperative cup angles, postoperative cup angles measured on computed tomography (CT) images, and cup angle measurement differences were measured and compared between patients with non-DDH/mild DDH and severe DDH. Furthermore, the predictive factors for outliers of accurate acetabular cup placement were analyzed. RESULTS The average measurement absolute abduction differences (postoperative CT-navigation record) were 3.9 ± 3.5° (severe DDH) and 3.3 ± 2.6° (non-DDH/ mild DDH), and the anteversion differences were 4.7 ± 3.4° (severe DDH) and 2.3 ± 2.1° (non-DDH/ mild DDH). The anteversion difference was different between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that the navigation difference (absolute difference in anteversion between postoperative CT and navigation records of > 5°) was significantly associated with severe DDH (odds ratio [OR]: 3.3; p = 0.049, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-11.1) and posterior pelvic tilt (OR: 1.1; p = 0.042, 95% CI: 1.0-1.27). CONCLUSIONS In patients with severe DDH, it is important to pay close attention during THA using portable navigation. However, the average difference was < 5º even in patients with severe DDH, and the accuracy may be acceptable in a clinical setting when the cost is considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of a new complete robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) with that of the manual total hip arthroplasty (MTHA) and to verify the accuracy and safety of the former. METHODS Overall, 148 patients were enroled from 3 March 2021 to 28 December 2021 in this study and classified into RA-THA ( n =74 patients) and MTHA ( n =74 patients) groups. The sex, age, operative side, BMI, diagnosis, other basic information, operative time, acetabular prosthesis anteversion and inclination, femoral prosthesis anteversion and angulation, femoral prosthesis filling rate, leg length discrepancy (LLD), Harris hip score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the two groups were compared. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in the two groups regarding sex, age, operative side, BMI, diagnosis, Harris hip score, VAS score, acetabular inclination, acetabular prosthesis anteversion, femoral prosthesis anteversion, combined anteversion, and femoral prosthesis filling rate ( P >0.05). The operative time was significantly longer in the RA-THA group than in the MTHA group (106.71±25.22 min vs. 79.42±16.16 min; t=7.30, P <0.05). The femoral angulation (1.78°±0.64°) and LLD (2.87±1.55 mm) in the RA-THA group were significantly lesser than those in the MTHA group (2.22°±1.11° and 5.81±6.27 mm, respectively; t=-2.95 and t=-3.88, P <0.05). CONCLUSION The complete RA-THA has some advantages over the traditional procedure in restoring the lower limb length and controlling the femoral prosthesis angulation. Thus, this study verifies the accuracy and safety of the robot-assisted system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the accuracy of the cup alignment angles and spatial cup positioning on computed tomography (CT) images in patients with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a minimally invasive technique via an anterolateral approach in the supine position according to whether a robotic arm-assisted system or a CT-based navigation system was used. METHODS We reviewed 60 robotic arm-assisted (RA)-THA cases and 174 navigation-assisted (NA)-THA cases. After propensity score matching, there were 52 hips in each group. Postoperative cup alignment angles and position were assessed by superimposition of a three-dimensional cup template onto the actual implanted cup using postoperative CT images with pelvic coordinates matching the preoperative planning. RESULTS The mean absolute error of the inclination angle and the anteversion angle between the preoperative planning and the postoperative measurement was significantly smaller in the RA-THA group (inclination, 1.1° ± 0.9; anteversion, 1.3° ± 1.0) than in the NA-THA group (inclination, 2.2° ± 1.5; anteversion, 3.3° ± 2.5). For acetabular cup positioning, the mean discrepancy between the preoperative planning and the postoperative measurement was 1.3 ± 1.3 mm on the transverse axis, 2.0 ± 2.0 mm on the longitudinal axis, and 1.3 ± 1.7 mm on the sagittal axis in the RA-THA group and 1.6 ± 1.4 mm, 2.6 ± 2.3 mm, and 1.8 ± 1.3 mm, respectively, in the NA-THA group. High precision of cup positioning was observed in both groups with no statistically significant difference. CONCLUSION Robotic arm-assisted THA using a minimally invasive technique via an anterolateral approach in the supine position allows accurate cup placement in patients with DDH.

Abstract
Aims Femoral component anteversion is an important factor in the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the accuracy of femoral component anteversion with the Mako THA system and software using the Exeter cemented femoral component, compared to the Accolade II cementless femoral component. Methods We reviewed the data of 30 hips from 24 patients who underwent THA using the posterior approach with Exeter femoral components, and 30 hips from 24 patients with Accolade II components. Both groups did not differ significantly in age, sex, BMI, bone quality, or disease. Two weeks postoperatively, CT images were obtained to measure acetabular and femoral component anteversion. Results The mean difference in femoral component anteversion between intraoperative and postoperative CT measurements (system accuracy of component anteversion) was 0.8° (SD 1.8°) in the Exeter group and 2.1° (SD 2.3°) in the Accolade II group, respectively (p = 0.020). The mean difference in anteversion between the plan and the postoperative CT measurements (clinical accuracy of femoral component anteversion) was 1.2° (SD 3.6°) in the Exeter group, and 4.2° (SD 3.9°) in the Accolade II group (p = 0.003). No significant differences were found in acetabular component inclination and anteversion; however, the clinical accuracy of combined anteversion was significantly better in the Exeter group (0.6° (SD 3.9°)) than the Accolade II group (3.6° (SD 4.1°)). Conclusion The Mako THA system and software helps surgeons control the femoral component anteversion to achieve the target angle of insertion. The Exeter femoral component, inserted using Mako THA system, showed greater precision for femoral component and combined component anteversion than the Accolade II component.

Crutcher JP, Hameed D, Dubin J, Mont MA, Mont M. Comparison of three-versus two-dimensional pre-operative planning for total hip arthroplasty. J Orthop 2024; 47:100-105. [PMID: 38046454 PMCID: PMC10686848 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background A successful clinical outcome for total hip arthroplasty (THA) depends on accurate sizing and positioning of the implants. Using three-dimensional (3-D) pre-operative planning with a computerized tomography (CT) scan has many potential advantages over conventional 2-D planning using radiographs, including potentially more accurate assessments of the size and anteversion of the acetabulum, as well as lateral femoral offset. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of 3-D to 2-D templating with respect to acetabular and femoral size, as well as lateral femoral offset. Methods Pre-operative templating data was collected prospectively from a consecutive series of 290 primary THAs (acetabulum on all, femoral component on 255 of the cases using one specific stem). All cases were initially templated on a digital imaging picture archiving and communication (PACS) system with calibrated images to estimate the acetabular size, femoral size, and lateral femoral offset. The 3-D templating was then performed with software based on a CT scan, and the results were compared to what was surgically implanted. Results The 3-D templating for the acetabulum was accurate 99.7% of the time based on the final implanted component. The 2-D templating for the acetabulum was accurate 39% of the time, with 46% of cases templating smaller and 15% templating larger. The 3-D templating of the femoral component was accurate 63% of the time, and within one size of final implant in 96% of cases. The 2-D templating of the femoral component was accurate 53% of the time and within one size of final implant in 94% of cases. The 2-D templated femoral offset was accurate 87% of the time and was changed in 13% of cases after 3-D templating. Conclusion The CT-based 3-D preoperative planning was superior to 2-D planning for THA with respect to acetabular size, femoral size, and lateral femoral offset. Precise acetabular component sizing conserves bone and allows for a more predictable press fit, while facilitating efficient inventory management. Lateral femoral offset is often difficult to measure on 2-D images, and 3-D templating consistently allows for accurate offset restoration, which is important for normal hip function and stability.

Abstract
Robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (R-THA) is increasingly being performed throughout the world. The invasiveness of this operation is unknown. We retrospectively reviewed the cohort of consecutive osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) patients who received primary R-THA or manual THA (M-THA) from January 2020 to January 2022 in our institution. One experienced surgeon performed all procedures. We calculated the propensity score to match similar patients in different groups by multivariate logistic regression analysis for each patient. We included confounders consisting of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and operation time. Preoperative serum markers and Harris hip scores (HHS), postoperative serum markers at first day and third day, complications rate, postoperative HHS and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) at 6 months after surgery of different cohorts were compared. We analyzed 218 ONFH patients treated with THA (98 R-THA patients, and 120 M-THA patients). After propensity score matching, we generated cohorts of 95 patients in R-THA and M-THA groups. We found no significant difference in preoperative serum markers and HHS. In the R-THA cohort, the PLT count was significantly lower on the postoperative day 1 (192.36 ± 41.72 × 109/L Vs 210.47 ± 72.85 × 109/L, p < 0.05). The Hb level was significantly lower on the postoperative third day in the R-THA cohort (98.52 ± 12.99 g/L Vs 104.74 ± 13.15 g/L, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the other serum markers between the cohorts on postoperative day 1 and 3 (p > 0.05). The FJS was significantly higher in the R-THA than M-THA group (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference in the postoperative HHS or complication rate between the groups (p > 0.05). The R-THA is not associated with a serious invasiveness compared to M-THA. Patients who underwent R-THA had a better early function compared to those who underwent M-THA.

[PMID: 35940352 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.07.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for fibrous-fused hips is technically demanding. This study aimed to evaluate the precision and accuracy, as well as the rate of conversion of robotic-assisted THA in such difficult patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 67 patients (84 hips) who underwent THA with fibrous-fused hips between August 2018 and June 2021 at our institution. Demographics, acetabular cup positioning, leg-length discrepancies, and postoperative Harris hip scores were recorded for all patients. Thirty-six patients (44 hips) who underwent robotic-assisted THA and 31 patients (40 hips) who underwent manual THA were enrolled in this study. RESULTS The robot accurately executed the preoperative plan, and there were no statistically significant differences between the preoperative planned anteversion, inclination, and postoperative measurements. In the robotic group, the percentage of acetabular cups in the safe zone was significantly higher than in the manual group (87.2 versus 55%, respectively, P = .042). The rate of conversion to manual THA for various reasons in the robotic-assisted THA group was 11.4% (5/44). Compared with manual THA, the mean increase in operative time for conversion from robotic-assisted to manual THA was 24 min (P < .001). CONCLUSION In patients who have fibrous-fused hips, preoperative planning can be accurately executed by robotic-assisted technology. Compared with manual THA, robotic-assisted THA had a remarkable advantage in improving the frequency of achieving cup positioning within the target zone. Overall, robotic-assisted technology was helpful in such difficult cases, and the approximately 11.4% of cases converted to manual THA are reminders that surgeons should be thoroughly prepared preoperatively.

Robotic-Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Review of the Workflow, Outcomes and Its Role in Addressing the Challenge of Spinopelvic Imbalance. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58111616. [DOI: 10.3390/medicina58111616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Robotic-arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RoTHA) offers the opportunity to improve the implant positioning and restoration of native hip mechanics. The concept of individualised, functional implant positioning and how it relates to spinopelvic imbalance is an important yet rather novel consideration in THA. There is mounting evidence that a significant percentage of dislocations occur within the perceived “safe zones”; hence, in the challenging subset of patients with a stiff spinopelvic construct, it is imperative to employ individualised component positioning based on the patients’ phenotype. Restoring the native centre of rotation, preserving offset, achieving the desired combined anteversion and avoiding leg length inequality are all very important surgeon-controlled variables that have been shown to be associated with postoperative outcomes. The latest version of the software has a feature of virtual range of motion (VROM), which preoperatively identifies potential dynamic causes of impingement that can cause instability. This review presents the workflow of RoTHA, especially focusing on pragmatic solutions to tackle the challenge of spinopelvic imbalance. Furthermore, it presents an overview of the existing evidence concerning RoTHA and touches upon future direction.

Abstract
CASES We present 2 robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty cases with significant segmental acetabular defects that could compromise cup fixation. We outline an algorithmic planning approach on a computed tomography (CT)-based platform to address these defects by predicting augmentation needs, when component adjustments alone are inadequate, and describe the novel combination of augments in conjunction with robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION CT-based robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty is a powerful tool to assess and address acetabular deficiencies. Rudimentary augment planning extracts additional value out of the preoperative CT. However, there remains room for intelligent assessment of hip centers and for deliberate augment planning and execution.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted arthroplasty has been rapidly entering clinical routine in recent years. The leading endoprosthesis manufacturers have all meanwhile placed robotic systems on the market, which, however, differ significantly from one another technically. Current systems are currently classified according to the degree of autonomy (active vs. semi-active vs. passive) and the data/image source (image-based: CT vs. X‑ray, imageless). Some systems already offer the possibility of robotic-assisted or navigated implantation of hip endoprostheses. In the following review article, the currently leading robotic systems will be presented and compared with regard to their characteristics. Furthermore, the analysis of the learning curves for the different systems, currently available cost analysis models and an outlook on future developments and challenges will be given.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the accuracy of three dimensional (3D) mini-optical navigation and accelerometer-based portable navigation systems for cup positioning during a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the supine position. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study assessed data for 77 hips using 3D mini-optical navigation (n = 37) and accelerometer-based portable navigation (n = 40). The patients underwent THA through the mini-anterolateral approach in the supine position using a portable navigation system. We assessed the preoperative target angles, recorded intraoperative cup angles, postoperative CT imaging angles, cup angle measurement errors, and other clinical parameters. RESULTS The mean absolute differences in radiographic inclination were similar between 3D mini-optical navigation and accelerometer-based portable navigation systems during THA in the supine position (2.8° ± 1.7° vs 2.8° ± 1.9°, p = 0.637). The mean absolute differences in radiographic anteversion were also similar (2.6° ± 2.3° vs 2.5° ± 1.9°, p = 0.737). Cup malalignment (absolute difference of inclination or anteversion between postoperative CT and preoperative target angle of > 5°) was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI) in accelerometer-based portable navigation but not in 3D mini-optical navigation. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to compare the accuracy of cup positioning between 3D mini-optical and accelerometer-based navigations in THA in the supine position. Both portable navigation systems accurately identified the orientation of cup placement. The accuracy of 3D mini-optical navigation is not affected by high BMI and may be preferred over other options in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical effectiveness of robotic arm-assisted systems remains unclear for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS Patients with DDH who underwent primary THA were included in this study. We conducted a propensity score-matched comparison between THAs using a robotic arm-assisted system (Mako group) versus those using the manual procedure (manual group) to compare the absolute differences in cup placement angles measured using postoperative computed tomography and those planned preoperatively. RESULTS A total of 217 patients with osteoarthritis due to DDH met the inclusion criteria. Eighty-four patients were matched as the Mako group and 84 as the manual group. The differences were smaller in the Mako group than the manual group in terms of both inclination and anteversion angles (1.1 ± 1.0 versus 4.2 ± 3.1, respectively; 95% CI, 2.4 to 3.8; p < 0.0001, and 1.2 ± 1.1 versus 5.8 ± 4.0, respectively; 95% CI, 3.7 to 5.5; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The robotic arm-assisted system may provide more accurate cup placement in THA for DDH.
